I get my hair to clump by putting products in while soaking wet, and constantly spraying with more water. Water promotes clumps by making the curls stick together. A thick gel also helps them stay together. After you styled, scrunch out the excess water with a t shirt or microfiber towel, and air dry. I find diffusing breaks up my clumps. Also make sure you don't have product buildup or too much oil in your hair making it look stringy.

I get my hair to stay in clumps or thicker curls while it's very wet. I apply leave-in conditioner and an oil (usually coconut). I used to use gel, but I feel like gel doesn't work as well as conditioner.
